After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 385 - 383: No Woman Shall Come Close!
Chapter 385: Chapter 383: No Woman Shall Come Close!
Even though she was angry now, she didn’t want her to have any misunderstandings with Song Sinian because of this issue.
Song Sinian, although very doggish, truly cared about Lu Zhaozhao—ridiculously so.
As an onlooker, she was clearly aware of this.
As her best friend, she hoped even more that Lu Zhaozhao wouldn’t miss out on him.
Lu Zhaozhao chuckled lightly and reached out to pinch Xu Zhenzhen’s cheek. "Don’t worry, I’m not angry. I just didn’t expect you to be involved with Mr. Song. Nor did I expect him to care about me this much from that time."
In her previous life as well as this one, she had been looked after by Song Sinian, it was just that she hadn’t known in her previous life.
Xu Zhenzhen looked at Lu Zhaozhao guiltily and asked cautiously, "Are you... are you really okay? Zhaozhao..."
She was still somewhat worried.
Although Lu Zhaozhao had been acknowledged by the Xia Family, the only one she counted as her best friend was Xu Zhenzhen.
And at the start, she had been a fake best friend.
She was worried that Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t handle it.
Lu Zhaozhao saw the concern on her small face and knew what she was thinking. She shrugged, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. After experiencing the betrayal of my foster parents, nothing else really impacts me as much. Besides, you haven’t betrayed me. Our relationship just started with different motivations, that’s all."
Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes narrowed slightly. "No matter how we met, as long as the end result doesn’t change, I don’t think it matters. What do you say?"
"Zhaozhao, you really are too kind." Xu Zhenzhen hugged Lu Zhaozhao tightly and buried her head in her chest. "I was so worried just now. I was afraid you were angry and would never want me as your best friend again."
Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but laugh and look at Xu Zhenzhen, "Then why didn’t you choose to keep silent?"
Xu Zhenzhen shook her head repeatedly, "I couldn’t. I would feel even guiltier."
"Pfft—hahaha..." Lu Zhaozhao was amused by Xu Zhenzhen and burst into laughter, the two of them falling onto the nearby hospital bed, their laughter light and relaxed.
Lu Zhaozhao tilted her head to look at Xu Zhenzhen as though a thought suddenly occurred to her, "So you’re saying you knew my second brother a long time ago?"
Could it be that it was impossible for them back then, and even now... they might not be together?
This thought made Lu Zhaozhao suddenly remember what Liu Xiaozhen had done, and her eyes slowly narrowed...
Xu Zhenzhen, lying down and looking at the ceiling above, didn’t see the change in Lu Zhaozhao’s expression, "I did know your second brother a long time ago, but back then he and Liu Xiaozhen were classmates, so we didn’t have many chances to interact with them."
Lu Zhaozhao rolled over, propped up her face, and asked Xu Zhenzhen, "Was Liu Xiaozhen that flirtatious back when she was around my brother, too?"
Thinking of how she easily managed to deter other competitors with just an avatar, Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but take Liu Xiaozhen seriously.
If it hadn’t been for her eldest brother’s birthday, with her fourth brother, the king of gossip around, her second brother might not have even known he’d been tricked.
Xu Zhenzhen also turned on her side to face Lu Zhaozhao, "Back then... it was indeed like that. I thought at school that those two were a couple. A lot of people felt the same."
As expected.
A shadow passed in Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes; indeed, the reason Xu Zhenzhen hadn’t had feelings for her second brother might have been because of Liu Xiaozhen.
"Zhenzhen, do you think my second brother is outstanding?" Lu Zhaozhao propped her chin and gave Xu Zhenzhen a glance.
Xu Zhenzhen nodded, "Outstanding, yes. He was very outstanding even back when he was at university. Lots of girls from his year and other years liked him, and of course, there were those from different majors too..."
"..." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Lu Zhaozhao curled her lips. Was this what she wanted to ask?
She wanted to ask if Xu Zhenzhen had any interest in her second brother.
Lu Zhaozhao opened her mouth, but ultimately, she couldn’t bring herself to ask.
In case Xu Zhenzhen didn’t like her second brother, or her second brother didn’t like Xu Zhenzhen, she might be forcing matters.
She thought for a moment, then raised her hand to pinch Xu Zhenzhen’s cheek and said, "My second brother is a complete straight arrow; he just can’t see all the twists and turns around him. So keeping him pure is all up to you now."
Xu Zhenzhen was directly amused by Lu Zhaozhao, "Okay, okay, I will definitely guard Lawyer Xia’s virtue more than my own, you just relax! As long as I’m here, not a single woman will get close!"
"..."
Geez, if Xu Zhenzhen and Xia Wenqing didn’t work out, she could be blamed for her second brother staying single forever.
Lu Zhaozhao was a bit torn between laughter and tears, but Xu Zhenzhen seemed especially happy.
Having Lu Zhaozhao as a get-out-of-jail-free card meant that even if she was trying to make her presence felt in front of Xia Wenqing, she had a reasonable excuse.
After lying on the hospital bed and chatting for a while, Xu Zhenzhen reluctantly left the hospital.
By the time she returned to Song Group, it was already the afternoon.
She was just walking into the office with the materials she had prepared when she noticed a new face in the office.
Surprisingly, this new face was very diligently cleaning the office.
Since there was usually only Xia Wenqing in the office, the cleaning was left to her as the assistant.
Xia Wenqing was a clean person, even at work, so it didn’t take Xu Zhenzhen much time to clean.
As she was about to sit down on the sofa next to the man who was focused on his work at the desk, she heard the woman speak, "Are you here for Lawyer Xia?"
Xu Zhenzhen stopped in her tracks and instinctively looked up at Xia Wenqing, who was working, just in time to meet his black eyes.
Xia Wenqing’s eyelids lifted slightly, and he said indifferently, "You’re back?"
His tone was light, revealing no clear emotions.
Xu Zhenzhen chuckled softly and blinked, "Yeah, I was just about to give you the materials in my hands, inside..."
"I’ll do it." Before Xu Zhenzhen could finish speaking, the documents in her hand were taken away by the unfamiliar face of the woman.
Xu Zhenzhen’s brows furrowed, watching as the woman placed the materials in front of Xia Wenqing.
"Lawyer Xia, the documents." The woman pulled a mild smile, appearing exceptionally gentle and tranquil.
Yet her over-enthusiastic, proactive demeanor set off alarm bells for Xu Zhenzhen.
Xia Wenqing saw Xu Zhenzhen’s conflicted face and slowly began to explain, "This is Hao Jiayi, a secretary who just joined Song Group today. The HR department assigned her to the Legal Department to handle miscellaneous tasks for now."
Hearing this, Xu Zhenzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
So it was a newcomer to Song Group. Then... her eagerness was understandable.
Newbies always want to make a good impression in front of the boss.
She smiled at Hao Jiayi, "My name is Xu Zhenzhen, I’m also from the Legal Department, currently Lawyer Xia’s assistant. I look forward to working with you..."
